McManis was active for 15 games with the Bears last season, with most of his duties coming exclusively on special teams. As one of the team's better performers on those units last season, McManis has a decent chance to claim a spot on the 53-man roster out of training camp, even though he looks to be no better than the Bears' No. 6 cornerback.

McManis faces an uphill battle to make the team at a cornerback position that is deep.
